Review of The Father

The Father (I) (2020)
9/10
Brilliant but saddening
28 April 2021
Being a Hopkins fan, I was looking forward to seeing his latest film, playing an old man entering the final chapter of his life.

The film is brilliantly played by Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman, but was far too violent to my heart for me to say I enjoyed it.

Having fairly recently gone through a very similar experience with my own father just a few years ago, the film brought back, with shining clarity, all of the horrible memories of his final months.
